Rare and brilliant. That, to me, is Barack Obama: an elder statesman, rare and brilliant.

DUers do mention the SCOTUS, but that is a whole different lifestyle than what he's used to. I think he'd be good at that gig, but would he want it? Also, first there has to be an opening, then a nomination, then getting it through Congress.
